Kavanaugh - Statistics for Business: STATISTICA Workshops

STATISTICA Workshops


STATISTICA is a complete data analysis system with thousands of on-screen customizable, presentation-quality graphs fully integrated with all procedures. STATISTICA contains the largest selection of statistics and graphs in a single system. All workshops are hands-on - bring your own data to analyse and visualize! You will work with a selection of the software capabilities most useful to people in industry.


All STATISTICA workshops are taught with the latest version of STATISTICA (version 9) and current Statsoft training materials.
